Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present Provócame, a group exhibition curated by Los Angeles artist Ever Velasquez. The show invites artists from across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Albania and Mexico to an exhibition organized as a love letter to an idealized home  – one both real and imagined, archival and ancestral – about the impact of displacement on their cities’ empowerment, embodiment, and resilience. While essentially a ‘love letter’, Provócame is simultaneously a bittersweet Dear John, encompassing the loss that lives inside any change, however small. These artists channel the passion and grit necessary to overcome day to day struggles inflicted on their communities while celebrating the beauty that flourishes and survives within.
